[QUOTE="MikeJhn, post: 543324, member: 33738"] Nope, that is only the fire rating aspect of the fitting, originally the OP just wished to fit GU10 downlight's the questioning of the need for fire rating came as an afterthought. If the OP had just written GU10 downlight's this thread would be about thirty posts shorter. 😜 Most fire rated downlight's have a collar of intumescent material that expands in the case of a fire to keep the integrity of the rating intact, I doubt that any solution that just covers over the existing 85mm square hole will serve that function without additional work to maintain the fire rating, if indeed required.
